Comment: This has been an extra wet summer and it's starting to show (in our basement). A couple of weeks ago water was seeping into my partially finished basement. The majority of the water came in at the joint of two basement walls and the floor on the finished side. Also, on the finished side we've noticed discoloration in the drywall along the baseboard and mildew/mold starting to grow. In the unfinished side, one wall has lot of efflourescence. I would like to treat efflourescence and of course water proof the rest of the basement. I am also concerned about what's lurking behind the dry wall. Also note, we do not have a sump pump.

Comment: I would like to get an estimate for some water in my basement and i need someone to tell me where its coming from.
